Introduction To The Best E-Cigs

E-Cigarettes (or e-cigs for short) are one of the most popular devices to quit smoking with and are becoming more and more popular and it is important for you to understand the risks associated with them. The traditional e-cig resembles a traditional cigarette in many ways. Some are even designed to look like them.

They use an automatic battery that's activated when the user draws and uses e-liquid that saturates a piece of cotton wrapped around a coil to produce vapor.

This vapor contains trace amounts of nicotine, which the user can control by choosing a particular strength of e-liquid.

SmokeTastic has been ranking the best e-cigs for many years now, and regularly have to update these listings as new manufacturers release new and improved models.

Useful Quick Facts About E-Cigs

What E-Cigs Are

E-Cigarettes have various names like the electronic cigarette, e-cig or even e-smokes and e-vapes. They are essentially beginner vape devices which consist of a simple battery and a cartridge known as either a pod or cartomizer. This cartridge holds the flavored e-liquid (of varying levels of nicotine) and a coil. They either screw or are held in position with magnets.

E-Cigs are designed for new vapers, they are easy to use and produce a similar amount of vapor as cigarettes produce smoke.

Who E-Cigs Are For

E-Cigs are designed for one purpose, to mimic and replace the use of traditional cigarettes. They produce a similar sensation to smoking and available in a whole host of flavors and strengths. If you're new to e-cigs, then try different flavors and then different strengths, ideally buy a starter kit that offers a selection of different flavored pods or cartridges.

How E-Cigs Work

All e-cigs work on the same principles. They have a battery (often automatic, which turns on when you vape), a cartomizer of a pod which holds the e-liquid and coil, and that's it! When you activate the battery, the coil heats up which is surrounded by an e-liquid saturated piece of cotton which produces a vapor. It is this vapor that is pulled into the lungs and vaped.

E-Cigs and Health

It is recommended that all smokers quit smoking, and if they can't do it alone then to use e-cigs as an aid. Public Health England (PHE) concluded that the use of e-cigs is 95% less harmful than smoking. But this means there is still an element of risk. So use e-cigs as a means to quit smoking, reducing your nicotine levels gradually and then slowly come off e-cigs too.

The Dangers Of E-Cigs

There are stories around the media of fires caused by e-cigs and although this is true, in 99% of cases it is due to a modified e-cig or custom build.

The starter kits that appear on this page are low power devices and have very low levels of risk, they are easy to use and even if they developed a fault, have safety features in place to stop them working.

That said, there are still a number of tips, to keep you and your e-cig safe:

Keep your e-cig out of hot areas and away from direct sunlight – As you would all battery devices.

If your e-cig has a button, ensure it is switched off before placing in your pocket – All the e-cigs on this page are automatic, but you can get button operated.

If you are refilling your pod or cartridge, then wipe away any excess e-liquid – This avoids any possibility of shorts.

Always use the charger that came with the e-cig – Some chargers emit different voltage levels that may exceed your e-cigs requirements.

Always keep away from children and pets

All the above recommendations are based on all electronic devices which hold batteries so it just takes a little common sense!
